This week on the Tribal Update, the weekly satirical newscast produced by Latma, the Hebrew-language, satirical media criticism website I run, we bring you and interview with Egyptian Field Marshal Tantawi, the head of the ruling military junta who our intrepid reporters tracked down during last weekend's mob assault on the Israeli embassy in Cairo.
We also bring you a Turkish naval captain discussing Turkey's plans to destroy Israel.
This past week the Israeli media scene was rocked by Channel 10s broadcast of an apology to Sheldon Adelson for a completely bogus "investigative report" the station ran on him in January. The apology spurred howls of protest from our media elites claiming that it meant that their right to free speech is being stifled by rich people.
We interview Channel 10s celebrity victim "Shai Tohar" to describe the crisis.
And there is much, much more.
Also - many of you have emailed me asking about our regular anchorwoman Ronit Avramov-Shapira. Well, Ronit gave birth to a healthy baby daughter on Tuesday.
Enjoy the show!

I have read you off and on for a few years... and was introduced to Latma by the 'We con the World' video. Loved it.
Your RSS feed is in my reader now, so I catch your columns and the Tribal Updates regularly.
Latma is bolder than The Onion back in the States. I applaud you (though sometimes you are on the edge of good taste, but I understand why. The world ignores the truth.)
Anyhow... All that to say that the 1967 bit made me cry this week... because I know it's true. I'm in the Land for the Feasts ... and to pray for Israel as the World prepares to vote on dividing Jerusalem.
I don't know if you are Bible-reading, believing person. I am. Are we at the start of Zechariah 12? I don't know. I had a rabbi more than a year ago tell me we were (and that was before the flotilla).
All I know, is when the nations do abandon Israel, because they all will, GOD will come as in the days of old and rescue His people, like the Exodus story, like Jericho, like Hezekiah and Sennacherib's siege.
Thank you for boldly reporting the truth. Isaiah 40:9-11
Mazel tov to Ronit
Congrats to Ronit :-) What is name/sex, for those of us not literate in Hebrew?
P.S. The segment on the Egypt riot was hilarious. I am glad that all the Israelis got out OK.
Mazal Tov to Ronit, her family and the entire Latma team. What wonderful news! Another precious neshama for Klal Yisrael.
This week's episode is wonderful, but I still can't figure out how Erdogan and common sense can be in the same sentence. Perhaps I'm just confused.
